Revamping Our Recess Equipment

Help me give my students new recess equipment so they can engage in more physical activity during recess.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Leslie's classroom raised $549

My Project

Our school deserves new recess equipment like pickleball nets, basketballs, and footballs because it significantly impacts the well-being and development of our students. Much of our current equipment is outdated and worn, creating safety risks that new, high-quality items could easily resolve. Upgrading to newer equipment would not only enhance safety but also offer a wider variety of activities that cater to different interests, promoting greater engagement and physical activity. This variety fosters social interaction and teamwork, helping students develop essential skills beyond the classroom. We are also requesting a storage cart to keep all of these materials in.

Investing in new recess equipment reflects our commitment to creating a vibrant school community that prioritizes student health and happiness.

By enhancing our recess facilities, we can improve the overall school experience and encourage a culture of active, healthy living.
